Loads of comedy moments last night. Not got any reliable photographic evidence of any of it but here's what me digi camera would have shown in words and pictures if I could only gain mastery over the fookin' thing...
Dick Knight #1 - All of us marching gaily along, happen to glance to the the left and there's a bloke nonchantly leaning on the promenade railings making a mobile phone call, watching the show go by. Looks like Dick Knight. Blimey - it IS Dick Knight. He gives us a cheery wave.
Dick Knight #2 - Couple of hundred yards further on, still marching gaily along, happen to glance to the left again and - FFS - there's ANOTHER bloke nonchantly leaning on the railings making a mobile phone call, watching the show go by that ALSO looks like Dick Knight. Much hasty mutterings about DK decoys placed strategically along the route to confuse NIMBY sniper fire. The odd chant of 'Two Dick Knights, there's only two Dick Knights'. Finally work out that the chairman's jogging alongside the march and loitering and making moby calls along the way.
Dick Knight #3 - The chairman, making an impromptu speech from the front seat PA of a police Land Rover. Not sure if that was the plan. Actually, pretty sure it was NOT the plan. Not the police plan anyroads. After several minutes of profusely thanking everybody who's turned up, stating the case for Falmer and why the City needs the stadium, and stretching the patience of owner of aforesaid police Land Rover, DK utters the immortal words: 'Ive been asked to get to the point; can you all please start marching back towards the Palace Pier'
Dick Knight #4 - Last sight I have on the march of messrs Knight, Perry and our very own Lord B. is they're stranded on this tiny traffic island by the Sea Life centre like a bunch of CLOWNS

Dick Knight we salute you
